10 Rules

In class this week we learned that God gave the Israelites 10 rules (commandments). Moses read the rules to the Israelites. Review with your child, some of the rules you have in your home and why it is important to follow the rules. God wants us to follow His rules too. On Wednesday nights we are learning a song to help us remember the Ten Commandments. I hope your child will share this song with you.

The Perfect 10 song:
In a cloud of fire and smoke a mighty voice of thunder broke as God descended to the mountaintop. High upon Mt. Sinai, He gave the rules we should live by as God gave out the "shalts" and "thou shalt nots."

Number one, we've just begun, God should be first in your life.
Number two's the idol rule: Those graven images aren't nice.
Number three; God's Name should be never spoken in jest.
Number four, the Sabbath's for our worship and for rest.
Number five; we all should strive to honor father and mother.
Number six, don't get your kicks from killing one another.
Number seven, life is heaven when you're true to your mate.
Number eight, don't steal and break this rule for goodness sake!
Number nine, don't be the kind who goes around telling lies.
Number ten; don't covet when you see your neighbor's house or wife.

That's the list and God insists we stay away from these sins;
That is why we memorize commandments one through ten.

The perfect ten, the perfect ten; As perfect now as they were way back
then. God gave the perfect ten, the perfect ten, God gave the perfect 10.
